Barack Obama Campaign Finance Reforms Fiddled While System Crumbled

Obama's spin when trying to get Sotomayor confirmed (a lackluster intellect if ever there was one) was that she'd be effective at countering the conservati­ves arguments when it came to trying to pull Kennedy over.  It hasn't happened; Roberts, Alito, are Scalia wield far greater political warfare skills.  

And when RuthBaderG­insburg considers 'Nino' (Scalia) to be her closest friend, vacationin­g with him off the Court, it's Democrats who need to wake up to the fact that we're in a war with the right and no amount of turning the other cheek is going to stop the rightwing.
